“Crime Nada: The Friar’s ‘I Don’t Remember’ in the Classroom – A Shocking Testimony in the Soraco Case”
Rome, Italy – In a dramatic turn of events in the ongoing “Crime Nada” investigation, a key witness—a friar who once collected the confessions of Elena Soraco’s mother—claimed “I don’t remember” when questioned in court about crucial details of the case. The testimony has sparked outrage, with many questioning whether the Church is protecting sensitive information linked to the infamous murder.
The Friar’s Controversial Testimony
The friar, whose identity remains confidential due to his role as a spiritual confidant, was summoned to testify in the trial of Alessandro Soraco, accused of murdering his wife, Elena Soraco, in a case that has gripped Italy.
During questioning, prosecutors pressed him on whether Elena’s mother had ever expressed fears for her daughter’s safety in their private conversations. Shockingly, the friar repeatedly responded with “Non mi ricordo” (“I don’t remember”), a phrase that has drawn comparisons to past scandals where clergy invoked memory lapses to avoid legal accountability.
A Pattern of Silence?
Legal experts suggest that the friar’s refusal to provide details could be tied to confessional privilege, a Catholic doctrine protecting the secrecy of confessions. However, critics argue that if Elena’s mother had warned of potential danger, this information could have been vital in preventing her daughter’s death.
Francesco Minisci, a lawyer for the Soraco family, stated: “If there was any hint of a threat, it should have been reported. ‘I don’t remember’ is not an acceptable answer when a woman’s life was at stake.”
Public Outcry and Church’s Response
The testimony has fueled public anger, with social media users accusing the Church of obstructing justice. Some have drawn parallels to past abuse cover-ups, where clergy avoided legal consequences by claiming ignorance.
The Diocese of Rome has yet to issue an official statement, but a spokesperson emphasized that “the sanctity of confession must be respected.” Meanwhile, prosecutors are reportedly exploring whether they can legally compel the friar to disclose more information.
What’s Next in the Trial?
The Soraco case has already seen twists, including allegations of domestic abuse and financial motives behind the murder. With the friar’s testimony raising more questions than answers, the courtroom drama is far from over.
As the trial resumes, many are demanding: If the Church knew something, why didn’t it act? And will “I don’t remember” be enough to shield the truth?
